Christine Flintham ASWA AssocSBA SFP
Biography
Christine has been a botanical artist for over fifteen years. Having studied art at school and after bringing up a family, while administering the family business she returned to formal study at Capel Manor College, Enfield where she received tuition and inspiration from Christabel King. Always seeking perfection she attends courses at Madingley Hall, Cambridge University, Cambridge University Botanic Garden and The Chelsea Physic Garden.
She aims to produce botanical studies that are true to the plant, its structure and identifying features, while creating paintings that have movement and style. She usually works in watercolour on hot pressed paper to achieve exquisitely detailed results.
